Tesla leads race to draw federal money for charging networks, WSJ says

Tesla is winning the early stages of the EV charging race, The Wall Street Journal’s Jennifer Hiller reports. The electric-vehicle maker is building charging stations cheaper and faster than competitors. As a result, Tesla is scooping up millions of dollars in federal grant awards for building roadside chargers with bids that are about half the cost of what its rivals have offered, the author notes. The federal funds, part of a national effort to build out the country’s charging network, might help solidify Tesla as a dominant force in the charging market.
